e9a81a821d rmap: wrap page_check_address() using __cond_lock() 
The page_check_address() conditionally grabs *@ptlp in case of returning
non-NULL.  Rename and wrap it using __cond_lock() removes following

ea4525b600 rmap: annotate lock context change on page_[un]lock_anon_vma() 
The page_lock_anon_vma() conditionally grabs RCU and anon_vma lock but
page_unlock_anon_vma() releases them unconditionally.  This leads sparse
to complain about context imbalance.  Annotate them.

d065bd810b mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer 
This change reduces mmap_sem hold times that are caused by waiting for
disk transfers when accessing file mapped VMAs.

It introduces the VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY flag, which indicates that the call
site wants mmap_sem to be released if blocking on a pending disk transfer.
In that case, filemap_fault() returns the VM_FAULT_RETRY status bit and
do_page_fault() will then re-acquire mmap_sem and retry the page fault.

It is expected that the retry will hit the same page which will now be
cached, and thus it will complete with a low mmap_sem hold time.

Tests:

- microbenchmark: thread A mmaps a large file and does random read accesses
  to the mmaped area - achieves about 55 iterations/s. Thread B does
  mmap/munmap in a loop at a separate location - achieves 55 iterations/s
  before, 15000 iterations/s after.

- We are seeing related effects in some applications in house, which show
  significant performance regressions when running without this change.

182fea8f48 mm: remove alignment padding from anon_vma on (some) 64 bit builds 
Reorder structure anon_vma to remove alignment padding on 64 builds when
(CONFIG_KSM || CONFIG_MIGRATION).
This will shrink the size of the anon_vma structure from 40 to 32 bytes
& allow more objects per slab in its kmem_cache.

Under slub the objects in the anon_vma kmem_cache will then be 40 bytes
with 102 objects per slab.  (On v2.6.36 without this patch,the size is 48
bytes and 85 objects/slab.)

3e4d3af501 mm: stack based kmap_atomic() 
Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
approach.

The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:

	#define __KM_PTE			\
		(in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : 	\
		 in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE :	\
		 KM_PTE0)

and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
slots might be appropriate for that.

The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.

For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:

  #define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)

to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

0e093d9976 writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone 
If congestion_wait() is called with no BDI congested, the caller will
sleep for the full timeout and this may be an unnecessary sleep.  This
patch adds a wait_iff_congested() that checks congestion and only sleeps
if a BDI is congested else, it calls cond_resched() to ensure the caller
is not hogging the CPU longer than its quota but otherwise will not sleep.

This is aimed at reducing some of the major desktop stalls reported during
IO.  For example, while kswapd is operating, it calls congestion_wait()
but it could just have been reclaiming clean page cache pages with no
congestion.  Without this patch, it would sleep for a full timeout but
after this patch, it'll just call schedule() if it has been on the CPU too
long.  Similar logic applies to direct reclaimers that are not making
enough progress.

7d3579e8e6 vmscan: narrow the scenarios in whcih lumpy reclaim uses synchrounous reclaim 
shrink_page_list() can decide to give up reclaiming a page under a
number of conditions such as

  1. trylock_page() failure
  2. page is unevictable
  3. zone reclaim and page is mapped
  4. PageWriteback() is true
  5. page is swapbacked and swap is full
  6. add_to_swap() failure
  7. page is dirty and gfpmask don't have GFP_IO, GFP_FS
  8. page is pinned
  9. IO queue is congested
 10. pageout() start IO, but not finished

With lumpy reclaim, failures result in entering synchronous lumpy reclaim
but this can be unnecessary.  In cases (2), (3), (5), (6), (7) and (8),
there is no point retrying.  This patch causes lumpy reclaim to abort when
it is known it will fail.

Case (9) is more interesting. current behavior is,
  1. start shrink_page_list(async)
  2. found queue_congested()
  3. skip pageout write
  4. still start shrink_page_list(sync)
  5. wait on a lot of pages
  6. again, found queue_congested()
  7. give up pageout write again

So, it's useless time wasting.  However, just skipping page reclaim is
also notgood as x86 allocating a huge page needs 512 pages for example.
It can have more dirty pages than queue congestion threshold (~=128).

After this patch, pageout() behaves as follows;

 - If order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
	Ignore queue congestion always.
 - If order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
	skip write page and disable lumpy reclaim.

52bb919866 writeback: account for time spent congestion_waited 
There is strong evidence to indicate a lot of time is being spent in
congestion_wait(), some of it unnecessarily.  This patch adds a tracepoint
for congestion_wait to record when congestion_wait() was called, how long
the timeout was for and how long it actually slept.

e11da5b4fd tracing, vmscan: add trace events for LRU list shrinking 
There have been numerous reports of stalls that pointed at the problem
being somewhere in the VM.  There are multiple roots to the problems which
means dealing with any of the root problems in isolation is tricky to
justify on their own and they would still need integration testing.  This
patch series puts together two different patch sets which in combination
should tackle some of the root causes of latency problems being reported.

Patch 1 adds a tracepoint for shrink_inactive_list.  For this series, the
most important results is being able to calculate the scanning/reclaim
ratio as a measure of the amount of work being done by page reclaim.

Patch 2 accounts for time spent in congestion_wait.

Patches 3-6 were originally developed by Kosaki Motohiro but reworked for
this series.  It has been noted that lumpy reclaim is far too aggressive
and trashes the system somewhat.  As SLUB uses high-order allocations, a
large cost incurred by lumpy reclaim will be noticeable.  It was also
reported during transparent hugepage support testing that lumpy reclaim
was trashing the system and these patches should mitigate that problem
without disabling lumpy reclaim.

Patch 7 adds wait_iff_congested() and replaces some callers of
congestion_wait().  wait_iff_congested() only sleeps if there is a BDI
that is currently congested.  Patch 8 notes that any BDI being congested
is not necessarily a problem because there could be multiple BDIs of
varying speeds and numberous zones.  It attempts to track when a zone
being reclaimed contains many pages backed by a congested BDI and if so,
reclaimers wait on the congestion queue.

I ran a number of tests with monitoring on X86, X86-64 and PPC64. Each
machine had 3G of RAM and the CPUs were

X86:    Intel P4 2-core
X86-64: AMD Phenom 4-core
PPC64:  PPC970MP

Each used a single disk and the onboard IO controller.  Dirty ratio was
left at 20.  I'm just going to report for X86-64 and PPC64 in a vague
attempt to keep this report short.  Four kernels were tested each based on
v2.6.36-rc4

traceonly-v2r2:     Patches 1 and 2 to instrument vmscan reclaims and congestion_wait
lowlumpy-v2r3:      Patches 1-6 to test if lumpy reclaim is better
waitcongest-v2r3:   Patches 1-7 to only wait on congestion
waitwriteback-v2r4: Patches 1-8 to detect when a zone is congested

nocongest-v1r5: Patches 1-3 for testing wait_iff_congestion
nodirect-v1r5:  Patches 1-10 to disable filesystem writeback for better IO

The tests run were as follows

kernbench
	compile-based benchmark. Smoke test performance

sysbench
	OLTP read-only benchmark. Will be re-run in the future as read-write

micro-mapped-file-stream
	This is a micro-benchmark from Johannes Weiner that accesses a
	large sparse-file through mmap(). It was configured to run in only
	single-CPU mode but can be indicative of how well page reclaim
	identifies suitable pages.

stress-highalloc
	Tries to allocate huge pages under heavy load.

kernbench, iozone and sysbench did not report any performance regression
on any machine.  sysbench did pressure the system lightly and there was
reclaim activity but there were no difference of major interest between
the kernels.

These are based on the raw figures taken from /proc/vmstat.  It's a rough
measure of reclaim activity.  Note that allocstall counts are higher
because we are entering direct reclaim more often as a result of not
sleeping in congestion.  In itself, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
It's easier to get a view of what happened from the vmscan tracepoint
report.

What is interesting here for nocongest in particular is that while direct
reclaim scans more pages, the overall number of pages scanned remains the
same and the ratio of pages scanned to pages reclaimed is more or less the
same.  In other words, while we are sleeping less, reclaim is not doing
more work and as direct reclaim and kswapd is awake for less time, it
would appear to be doing less work.

The vanilla kernel spent 8 seconds asleep in direct reclaim and no time at
all asleep with the patches.

when a zone is congested and not just a BDI was more efficient overall.

Again, a similar trend that the congestion_wait changes mean that direct
reclaim scans more pages but the overall number of pages scanned while
slightly reduced, are very similar.  The ratio of scanning/reclaimed
remains roughly similar.  The downside is that kswapd and direct reclaim
was awake longer and for a larger percentage of the overall workload.
It's possible there were big differences in the amount of time spent
reclaiming slab pages between the different kernels which is plausible
considering that the micro tests runs after fsmark and sysbench.

The vanilla kernel spent 20 seconds asleep in direct reclaim and only
312ms asleep with the patches.  The time kswapd spent congest waited was
also reduced by a large factor.

Scanned/reclaimed ratios again look good with big improvements in
efficiency.  The Scanned/written ratios also look much improved.  With a
better scanned/written ration, there is an expectation that IO would be
more efficient and indeed, the time spent in direct reclaim is much
reduced by the full series and kswapd spends a little less time awake.

Overall, indications here are that allocations were happening much faster
and this can be seen with a graph of the latency figures as the
allocations were taking place

Overall, the time spent speeping is reduced.  kswapd is still hitting
congestion_wait() but that is because there are callers remaining where it
wasn't clear in advance if they should be changed to wait_iff_congested()
or not.  Overall the sleep imes are reduced though - from 79ish seconds to
about 19.

This patch:

Add a trace event for shrink_inactive_list() and updates the sample
postprocessing script appropriately.  It can be used to determine how many
pages were reclaimed and for non-lumpy reclaim where exactly the pages
were reclaimed from.

Unfortunately, there's a typo in one of the checks for it.  This patch
fixes it (s/NODE_NOT_IN_PAGEFLAGS/NODE_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS/).  Since this

f629d1c9bd mm: add account_page_writeback() 
To help developers and applications gain visibility into writeback
behaviour this patch adds two counters to /proc/vmstat.

  # grep nr_dirtied /proc/vmstat
  nr_dirtied 3747
  # grep nr_written /proc/vmstat
  nr_written 3618

These entries allow user apps to understand writeback behaviour over time
and learn how it is impacting their performance.  Currently there is no
way to inspect dirty and writeback speed over time.  It's not possible for
nr_dirty/nr_writeback.

These entries are necessary to give visibility into writeback behaviour.
We have /proc/diskstats which lets us understand the io in the block
layer.  We have blktrace for more in depth understanding.  We have
e2fsprogs and debugsfs to give insight into the file systems behaviour,
but we don't offer our users the ability understand what writeback is
doing.  There is no way to know how active it is over the whole system, if
it's falling behind or to quantify it's efforts.  With these values
exported users can easily see how much data applications are sending
through writeback and also at what rates writeback is processing this
data.  Comparing the rates of change between the two allow developers to
see when writeback is not able to keep up with incoming traffic and the
rate of dirty memory being sent to the IO back end.  This allows folks to
understand their io workloads and track kernel issues.  Non kernel
engineers at Google often use these counters to solve puzzling performance
problems.

Patch #4 adds a pernode vmstat file with nr_dirtied and nr_written

Patch #5 add writeback thresholds to /proc/vmstat

Currently these values are in debugfs. But they should be promoted to
/proc since they are useful for developers who are writing databases
and file servers and are not debugging the kernel.

The output is as below:

 # grep threshold /proc/vmstat
 nr_pages_dirty_threshold 409111
 nr_pages_dirty_background_threshold 818223

This patch:

This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page
writeback state and not worry about the other accounting.  Not using these
routines means that some code will lose track of the accounting and we get
bugs.

Modify nilfs2 to use interface.

49ac825587 memory hotplug: unify is_removable and offline detection code 
Now, sysfs interface of memory hotplug shows whether the section is
removable or not.  But it checks only migrateype of pages and doesn't
check details of cluster of pages.

Next, memory hotplug's set_migratetype_isolate() has the same kind of
check, too.

This patch adds the function __count_unmovable_pages() and makes above 2
checks to use the same logic.  Then, is_removable and hotremove code uses
the same logic.  No changes in the hotremove logic itself.

TODO: need to find a way to check RECLAMABLE. But, considering bit,
      calling shrink_slab() against a range before starting memory hotremove
      sounds better. If so, this patch's logic doesn't need to be changed.

1b430beee5 writeback: remove nonblocking/encountered_congestion references 
This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efe
(writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks).  There are
no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the
ext4 tracing interface.

The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the
flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on
IO congestion.  The latter will lead to more seeky IO.

The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's
redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check.

We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because
a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code
b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior:
   that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which
   is unfair in terms of LRU age.

3d5992d2ac oom: add per-mm oom disable count 
It's pointless to kill a task if another thread sharing its mm cannot be
killed to allow future memory freeing.  A subsequent patch will prevent
kills in such cases, but first it's necessary to have a way to flag a task
that shares memory with an OOM_DISABLE task that doesn't incur an
additional tasklist scan, which would make select_bad_process() an O(n^2)
function.

This patch adds an atomic counter to struct mm_struct that follows how
many threads attached to it have an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN.
They cannot be killed by the kernel, so their memory cannot be freed in
oom conditions.

This only requires task_lock() on the task that we're operating on, it
does not require mm->mmap_sem since task_lock() pins the mm and the
operation is atomic.
